Mainframe saves various details against a member or physical sequential file like version, user, create date etc. These details can however be changed by the following methods
1. Using the Rexx code
/* rexx */ dsname = “USERID.ABC.XYZ” /* Work PDS */ usrid = “USER1” /* User id to be updated in the stats */ mbrname = “MYMEM” /* PDS member to update */ Address ispexec “LMINIT DATAID(LMD1) DATASET(‘”dsname”‘)” “LMMSTATS DATAID(“lmd1”) MEMBER(“mbrname”) USER(“usrid”)”
“LMFREE DATAID(“lmd1″)”
2. By putting “G” against the member for physical sequential file, a dialog box opens up and there you can edit the stats for the member/ps.
